Vintage SSK Dimple LHT Baseball Glove 12" | DPG-615 | Japan | Double post web | perfect break-in

A classic SSK Dimple model from the original, made in Japan run (note the "patent pending" stamp). Thick leather, perfect break-in. Some lucky lefty is going to love this mitt. Note the pure leather piping, unlike other later models when they used a cheaper cut. This is a key detail because the cheap piping will dry out over time and become stiff and uncomfortable, but on this glove it breaks in beautifully like the rest of the catching leather. It makes it a bit of a unicorn among SSK Dimples, because you usually only find that detail on the Pro models. Old-school red embroidered patch on the wrist (the white has lost a bit but the red still pops). Player profile: most likely a lefty Outfielder, given the 12" size and post web. ** for players that use the new-school grip (both pinky and ring finger in the pinky stall), or lobster grip, or whatever you call it, this glove is a dream. Plenty of room in that stall. The double post web gives this a nice deep pocket. It has softball crossover potential too, if you want to snag it away from some unlucky hardball player. See photos for size reference. This glove has been professionally cleaned & conditioned, and given a partial re-lace. The original heel lacing was in great shape, but all the finger and webbing lace has been replaced with new dark chocolate rawhides. Personal note: not all SSK's are created equal, but this one is just a perfect build. Makes you want to go play catch when you put it on.
